Introduction

The instructions are an integral part of the appliance and must be given to the end user on comple-
tion of the installation in order to comply with the current regulation.

It is important to carefully read the manual to understand all the information to enable safe installa-
tion, use and servicing. These instructions consist of details for installation, servicing, fault finding
and replacement of parts for the cylinder purchased.

Joule™ will not accept any liability in the event of damage for not complying with the guidance in
this instruction manual.

The instructions for this installation manual apply to the range of Joule™ Cyclone Unvented Cylinders.

Safety is paramount when installing unvented hot water systems and the following instructions must
be adhered to:
• Only certified competant installers can install, commission and service the equipment supplied.
• The cylinder must be used for potable hot water only. Any other applications will be considered
incorrect use and Joule™ will not be held liable for any losses resulting from such use.
• All installation and maintenance instructions must be observed to ensure the correct operation
of the equipment.
• The electric immersion must not be switched on unless the cylinder is completely full of water.
• Domestic hot water may be stored at temperatures exceeding 60°C. Preventative measures
should be put in place to negate the possibility of scalding.
• A maintenance schedule should be put in place with a competent person to service the equip-
ment annually to comply with the warranty conditions.
• When servicing the system the mains supply to the cylinder should be isolated.
• Only genuine spare parts should be used. A full list of items with relevant codes can be found
on page 14.

The installation must be carried out by a person competent to install unvented hot water systems.
The installation must be carried out in accordance with the following recommendations:

All current Building Regulations issued by the Department of the Environment, i.e. Building Regula-
tion G3 (England and Wales), Technical Standard P3 (Scotland) or Building Regulation P5 (Northern
Ireland) and the Water Fitting Regulations (England and Wales) or Water Byelaws (Scotland). The
installation should also be in accordance with the following British Standard Codes of Practice:

BS 5449:1990 Forced circulation hot water systems


BS 5546:2000 Installation of hot water supplies for domestic purposes
BS 5918:1989 Solar heating systems for domestic hot water
BS 6700:2006 Design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying water.
Failure to install this appliance correctly could lead to prosecution and will invalidate the guarantee.
It is in your own interest and that of safety to ensure that the law is complied with.

6 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Handling
Care must be taken when transporting, storing and installing the equipment:
• At least two people should lift the cylinder to prevent injuries.
• The cylinder must be stored in a dry area and must never be dropped during handling.
• Packaging should only be removed at the installation location.
• The cylinder must be installed on a level floor with the required load bearing capability. Installa-
tion, servicing, maintenance and repair must be carried out by a competent person.
• All electrical wiring must be carried out by a qualified electrician and be installed in accordance
with current I.E.E Wiring Regulations.
• A lack of safety devices can lead to potentially fatal injuries, all necessary safety devices must
be installed correctly in the system. The use of an electric immersion may lead to the build up
of electrical potential in the water. This can in turn cause corrosion of the immersion. To prevent
this, ensure the immersion heater, and the hot and cold pipework are correctly bonded and
connected to the earth line.
• If plastic pipes are used they must be approved temperature resistant to 95°C at a pressure of
10bar.

A thermostatic mixer should be installed in the system to prevent the risk of scalding. If there are
leaks found in the system, shut off the cold water stop valve from the main supply and contact a
competent person immediately. Also ensure to isolate the power going to any immersions fitted to
the cylinder

What Is Benchmark?
Benchmark places responsibilities on both manufacturers and installers. The purpose is to ensure
that customers are provided with the correct equipment for their needs, that it is installed, commis-
sioned and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions by competent persons and
that it meets the requirements of the appropriate Building Regulations.
The Benchmark Checklist can be used to demonstrate compliance with Building Regulations and
should be provided to the customer for future reference. Installers are required to carry out installa-
tion, commissioning and servicing work in accordance with the Benchmark Code of Practice which
is available from the Heating and Hot Water Industry Council who manage and promote the scheme.

Cyclone Direct / Indirect Installation Guide 7


Introduction

Water Supply
The performance of any unvented system is only as good as the mains water supply available. To
this effect the maximum possible water demand should be assessed, with the knowledge that the
mains supplies both hot and cold services simultaneously. The water heater itself operates at a
pressure of 3bar, controlled by the inlet control set, and is capable of delivering over 50 litres per minute.
The high quality inlet control set has been designed to make the most of the low rates available.

The water supply should be checked to ensure it can meet these requirements. If necessary, consult
the local water authority regarding the likely pressure and flow rate availability.
Consideration should be given to upgrading existing 1⁄2” (15mm) cold mains pipework to a larger
size if the recommended minimum pressure / flow rate is not being achieved. Joule™ recommend
that primary pipework used has a minimum diameter of 22mm to ensure low pressure loss.

A high static (no flow) mains pressure is no guarantee of good flow availability. In a
domestic installation 1.5bar and 25ltr/min should be regarded as the minimum. The
maximum mains pressure that the inlet control set can cope with is 10bar.

Change Of Water Supply


The changing or alternating from one water supply to another can have a detrimental effect on the
operation and/or life expectation of the water heater storage cylinder, pressure temperature relief
valve and heating unit.
Where there is a changeover from one water supply to another, e.g. a rainwater tank supply, bore
water supply, desalinated water supply, public reticulated water supply or water brought in from
another supply, then water chemistry information should be sought from the supplier or it should be
tested to ensure the water supply meets the requirements given in these guidelines for the Joule™
warranty to apply.

Water Chemistry
This water heater must be installed in accordance with this advice to be covered by the Joule™ war-
ranty. This water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most public reticulated water
supplies. However, there are some known water chemistries which can have detrimental effects on
the water heater and its operation and/or life expectancy. If you are unsure of your water chemistry,
you may be able to obtain information from your local water supply authority.

8 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Water Chemistry Levels Affecting Warranty
The Joule™ warranty of this water heater will not cover resultant faults on components including the
storage cylinder where water stored in the storage cylinder exceeds at any time any of the following
levels:

Components Maximum Permitted Levels


Total Dissolved Solids 600 mg/litre

Total Hardness 200 mg/litre

Chloride 300 mg/litre

Magnesium 10 mg/litre

Calcium 20 mg/litre

Soldium 150 mg/litre

Iron 1 mg/litre

Maximum pH 9.5

Minimum pH 6.5

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)


Some water analysis reports may state the conductivity of the water rather than the level of total dis-
solved solids. Conductivity, measured in microsiemens per centimetre (μS/cm), is directly proportional
to the TDS content of the water. TDS, in mg/L, is approximately 70% of the conductivity in μS/cm.
The Joule™ warranty will not cover resultant faults to the storage cylinder if this water heater is
connected at anytime to a water supply where the TDS content of the water exceeds 600 mg/L. 16
In locations where TDS approaches 600 mg/L, e.g. due to sediment, we strongly recommend fitting
an appropriate filter to ensure water entering or in the water heater does not exceed this level at
any time i.e. due to sediment build up.

Cyclone Direct / Indirect Installation Guide 9


General Requirements

Wellmaster Cylinders
Only Joule™ Wellmaster cylinders may be installed on a well, private water scheme or any water
source that does not come from the public mains.

Water supplied to the cylinder must conform to the water chemistry table on the previous page. A
descaler on the cold water feed may be used if required.

If any of the water parameters are higher than set out in the table including total
hardness regardless of wheter or not it is fed from a main water connection a Joule™
Wellmaster cylinder must be used.

If any of the water parameters are higher than set out in the table including Total Hardness regardless
of whether or not it is fed from a main water connection a Joule™ Wellmaster cylinder must be used.

Siting The Unit


This unit can supply outlets above it or at some distance from it but any outlets above the unit will
reduce the available outlet pressure by 0.1 bar for every 1m of height dfference. The maximum
length of the “dead leg” should be as stated in the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999
G18.7, in particular to the area of most frequent use.
Particular attention is needed if siting in a garage or outbuilding as the unit should be protected from
frost. All exposed pipework must be insulated. The unit must be installed upright on a base capable
of supporting its weight when full (please see the technical specification section for weights).

Sufficient access to allow maintenance of the valves should be considered. In addition the immer-
sion heaters are 400mm in length and this distance should be considered to allow withdrawal for
servicing if required. The discharge pipework from the safety valves should fall continuously and
terminate safely.

Negative pressure may form in cylinders installed very high in a building. To counteract this, an an-
ti-vacuum valve can be installed to prevent damage to the cylinder. The anti-vacuum valve ensures
pressure compensation as a result of air flowing into the cylinder.

Connecting To The Cylinder


All of the pipework connections on the cylinder are compression connection and female threaded. Upon filling
and commissioning, ensure all connections are completely watertight.

No control or isolation valve should be fitted between the expansion relief valve and the
storage cylinder. The relief valve connections should not be used for any other purpose.

10 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Cold Mains Pipework
Run the cold main through the building to the place where is to be installed. Take care not to run the
cold pipe near hot water or heating pipe work so that the heat pick-up is minimized. Identify the cold
water supply pipe and fit an isolating valve (not supplied). A 22mm BS1010 stopcock can typically
be used but a 22mm quarter turn full bore valve would be better as it does not restrict the flow as
much. Do not use “screwdriver slot” or similar valves.
Make the connection to the cold feed of the cylinder and incorporate a drain valve. Position the
inlet control just above the Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (TPRV) mounted on the side of the
cylinder. This ensures that the cylinder does not have to be drained down in order to service the inlet
control set. Ensure that the arrow points in the direction of the water flow. Select a suitable position
for the expansion vessel. Mount it to the wall using the bracket provided.

Balanced Cold Connection


If there are to be showers, bidets or monobloc taps in the installation then a balanced cold supply
is necessary. There is a 22mm balanced connection on the inlet control set.

Fitting The Inlet Control Group


Excess pressure can lead to the cylinder bursting. The inlet control set supplied has an expansion
relief valve with a 15mm connection to allow it to be connected to the tundish. Make sure that there
is sufficient space for future maintenance and also for connection of the discharge pipe for the
expansion relief valve.
It is essential that this connection is not covered or closed. The hot water expansion vessel should
be hard fixed into pipework and insulated.

Hot Water Pipework


Run the first part of the hot water distribution pipework in 22mm. This can be reduced to 15mm
and 10mm as appropriate for the type of tap etc. Your aim should be to reduce the volume of the
hot draw-off pipework to a practical minimum so that the time taken for the hot water is as quick
as possible.
Do not use monobloc mixer tap or showers if the balanced cold connection is not provided. Outlets
of this type can back pressurise the unit and result in discharge.

Expansion Vessel
The expansion vessel receives the increased water volume when expansion takes place as the
system heats up and it maintains a positive pressure in the system. The expansion vessel contains
a flexible diaphragm, which is initially charged on one side with nitrogen, but can be topped up with
air when required.

Select a suitable position for the expansion vessel. Mount it to the wall using the bracket provided
(0-24L only, 35L and above are floor standing) and hard fix into pipework and insulate. Ensure that
the top of the vessel is accessible for servicing. The pipe connecting the expansion vessel to the
system should have a diameter of not less than 15mm and must not contain any restrictions.

Cyclone Direct / Indirect Installation Guide 11


General Requirements

Prior to connecting the expansion vessel to the system the pipework should be flushed and tested.
When the vessel is connected the system should be pressurised when cold. If the initial system
water pressure is too high, the diaphragm will be displaced too far into the vessel. This will leave the
vessel unable to accommodate the volume of expansion water. The result of this is an increase in
system pressure and the safety valve will lift.

Primary Coil Connections


Connect the primary connections (Indirect only). The primary circuit must be positively pumped.
Either primary connection may be used as the primary flow. Reheat times are identical either way.
The primary circuit can be open vented or sealed, with up to a maximum pressure of 3.5 bar. If you
seal the primary circuit an additional expansion vessel and safety valve is required.

The boiler may be Gas, Electric or Oil but must be under effective thermostatic control. Uncontrolled
heat sources such as some AGA’s, back boilers, solid fuel stoves, etc. are not suitable. Please con-
tact our Technical department for guidance. Connect the two port zone valve (indirect only) into the
primary flow pipework. The direction of flow arrow should be towards the primary flow connection.

Installing The Two Port Motorised Valve


The function of the Two Port Motorised Valve prevents the cylinder from overheating. It can be in-
stalled on either horizontal or vertical pipework.
If it is mounted onto horizontal pipework the valve head must face upwards. The direction of flow is
marked on the body of the valve with arrows.

Thermostatic Mixer
When installing a solar system with an unvented Joule™ Cyclone twin coil cylinder, a thermostatic
mixing valve should be installed. Its function is to act as an anti scald protection. The thermostatic
mixer is to be set to a temperature of between 30°C and 60°C and is supplied by the installer.

Secondary Circulation
On larger installations long pipe runs to draw-off points can cause significant volumes of water to be
drawn off before an acceptable temperature can be reached. Secondary pumped circulation using
a stainless steel or a bronze pump, and combined with effective time and temperature controls can
overcome this problem. Where secondary return circulation is required the pipework should be run
in 15mm pipe. A suitable WRAS approved stainless steel or bronze circulation pump must be used.
A check valve must also be installed to prevent back flow.
On large secondary circulation systems it may be necessary to incorporate an extra expansion
vessel into the circuit to accommodate the increased system water volume. Secondary circulation
should be avoided on Direct electrically heated units being used on off-peak electricity tariffs. It
should be noted that the use of a secondary circulation circuit can increase running costs as there
will be circulation pipe losses. High levels of insulation on secondary pipework are required to keep
energy losses to a minimum.

12 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Dead Legs
The length of hot water draw off to taps and other outlets should be kept to a minimum to reduce
the amount of cold water drawn off before the hot water arrives. The maximum recommended dead
leg lengths are shown in the table below. Where there is more than one size of pipe on a dead leg,
the equivalent length and size should be estimated. Where the dead leg length exceeds the rec-
ommended maximum, secondary circulation should be installed. It should be controlled by a time
switch and incorporate a motorized valve that can prevent gravity circulation in the circuit.
Pipe Size (mm) Maximum Length (m)
10, 12 20
15, 22 12
28 8
35 and above 3
System Noise
Noise in pipework may occur as a result of expansion of pipework over joists or where the pipe has
been left touching other pipes or a part of the building structure. Care must be taken to ensure that
the pipework is correctly bracketed, is not in tension or compression, and does not carry the weight
of components such as a circulation pump.

Setting The Hot Water Temperature


The hot water temperature is set on the dual thermostat by the competent person during the instal-
lation. The dual thermostat should be set to 60°C. If you are heating water in the cylinder for the
first time, or the time controls for the DHW zone have been off for a prolonged period of time, the
cylinder may take additional time to heat up.

Inappropriate adjustments can lead to the damages in the system. If any changes are
made to the cylinder, the controls, the water and power supply lines or the expansion
relief components there is a risk of steam escaping or rupture to the system.

Fitting The Immersion Heater


Always check the immersion for signs of leakage before wiring commences.
The immersion heater must be completely submerged in water with a minimum of 200mm of water
above the top of the immersion.

Do not operate the immersion heaters until the cylinder has been filled with water

Wire the immersion through a double pole fused spur. The contact separation must be no less than
3mm with a minimum breaking capacity of 16A.

Cyclone Direct / Indirect Installation Guide 31


Smart Immersion Functions

On the new Smart Immersion we have four setting options:

• OFF
• ECO – smart control: starts for 2 weeks at 70°C and then it will select automatically storage
temperatures through the day
• MANUAL – works as standard mechanical thermostat can be set up to 70°C
• OPK (off peak) – this must be selected when the cylinder is connected to the night tariff. During
the day time the immersion is not connected and this would require the smart control to be reset.
When OPK is selected it should be set at 60°C and working as a standard thermostat. Alterna-
tively the user can select the manual mode.

32 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Immersion Installation

1. Check your mains power voltage matches the voltage rating indicated on the label of the plastic
terminal cover.

2. The immersion heater must be fixed to the cylinder using the gasket provided. Please ensure
that the unit is not over tightened into the tank boss. Silicon sealant on the gasket is recom-
mended.

This heater should only be installed in systems where the element is always below
water level, such as a cistern fed tank. Check that there is water in the tank before
the immersion heater is first switch on.

If the heater is allowed to run when the water level is not fully covering the heating element there may
be serious damage incurred to the heater, property or persons.
The appliance is not to be used by children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental

Thermostat Information
The immersion heater is supplied with a T-MEC 2 Electronic thermostat. To maintain safety, any
thermostat replacement must be of the same type.

Low water temperature is recommended to reduce limestone deposit (not lower than 60ºC)

The thermostat in this unit is able to disconnect both supply conductors (live and neutral) by a single
initiating action. It has a safety resettable cut out mechanism which prevents excessive tempera-
tures. In case the normal sensing device fail, the over temperature safety device will act to limit the
water over-temperature.

To reset the thermostat after an intervention of the safety device:

1. Switch off the heater by isolating the power supply

2. Allow the water in the cylinder to cool down sufficiently

3. Remove the cover and press the button on the top of the thermostat.

NB: This cut out is a safety device, if this is found to be operating frequently then we recommend to
consult a qualified electrician to investigate the nature of the problem as the thermostat may need to
be replaced. It may be helpful to lower the thermostat setting to avoid unnecessary cut offs.

Electronic Controls

Electrical Controls
Suitable time and temperature controls should be installed to allow the cylinder to operate at it’s
maximum efficiency. All electrical work carried out must comply with IEE Wiring Regulations (BS
3456). Products must also be installed as per the regulations in G3 of the Building Regulations. A
boiler interlock should be in place and is a wiring arrangement where the boiler cannot fire unless
there is a demand for hot water generation.

Typical Wiring Diagrams


These diagrams relate only to the components listed. Others may vary in their wiring requirements,
particularly thermostats. Always refer to manufacturers’ instructions which may override the detail
in order to function correctly.

The link must be installed between the adjustable thermostat and the safety cut-out thermostat as
shown above. The operating thermostat which controls the temperature of the domestic hot water
is adjustable. A safety cut out is also incorporated within the thermostat and will operate at 85°C ±
3°C. Both thermostats should run in series. To reset the safety cut-out and the motorised valve the
reset button must be pressed in.

Joule™ cannot be responsible if alternative wiring plans are used.

Before resetting the safety cut-out or altering the thermostat setting, isolate electrical
supply to the unit before removal of the cover.

48 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Discharge Arrangement

Discharge Pipework
The inlet control group should be positioned so that the discharge from both safety valves can be
combined via a 15mm end feed tee. Connect the tundish and route the discharge pipe which must
be routed in accordance with Building Regulations - Part G3 of schedule 1.

When operating normally water will not be discharged. Water discharge from the two safety valves
will only occur under fault conditions. The tundish should be vertical, located in the same space
as the unvented hot water storage system and be fitted as close as possible, and lower than the
valve, with no more than 600mm between the safety device outlet e.g. the temperature relief valve
and the tundish.

The position of the tundish must be that when installed it is visible to the occupants of the prem-
ises. When positioning the tundish, the drain valves and motorised valve ensure that these items
are positioned away from any electrical devices. The discharge pipe (D2) coming from the tundish
should terminate in a safe place where there is no risk to persons in the vicinity of the discharge,
be of metal and:

• Be at least one pipe size larger than the nominal outlet size of the safety device unless its total
equivalent hydraulic resistance exceeds that of a straight pipe 9m long, i.e. discharge pipes
between 9m and 18m equivalent resistance length should be at least two sizes larger than the
nominal outlet size of the safety device, between 18 and 27m at least 3 sizes larger, and so on.

• Bends must be taken into account in calculating the flow resistance. Refer to diagram 1, Table 1
and the worked example. An alternative approach for sizing discharge pipes would be to follow
BS6700 Specification for design, installation, testing and maintenance of services supplying
water for domestic use within buildings and their curtilages.

• Have a vertical section of pipe at least 300mm long, below the tundish before any elbows or
bends in the pipework.

• Be installed with a continuous fall.

It is preferable for the discharge to be visible at both the tundish and the final point of discharge.
Where this is not possible or practically difficult, there should be clear visibility at one or other of
these locations.

Cyclone Direct / Indirect Installation Guide 49


Discharge Arrangement

Examples Of Acceptable Dischargement Arrangements


Ideally below the fixed grating and above the water seal in a trapped gulley.

Downward discharges at a low level; i.e. up to 100mm above external surfaces such as car parks,
hard standings, grassed areas etc. are acceptable providing that where children play or otherwise
come into contact with discharges, a wire cage or similar guard is positioned to prevent contact
whilst maintaining visibility.

Discharges at a high level; e.g. in to metal hopper and metal down pipe with the end of the
discharge pipe clearly visible (tundish visible or not) or onto a roof capable of withstanding high
temperature discharges of water and 3m from any plastic guttering systems that would collect such
discharges (tundish available).

Where a single pipe serves a number of discharges, such as in blocks of flats, the number served should
be limited to not more than 6 systems so that any installation can be traced reasonably easily.

The single common discharge pipe should be at least one pipe size larger than the largest indi-
vidual discharge pipe to be connected. If unvented hot water storage systems are installed where
discharges from safety devices may not be apparent, i.e. in dwellings occupied by blind, infirm or
disabled people, consideration should be given to the installation of an electronically operated de-
vice to warn when discharge takes place.

Worked Example
The example on the next page is for G1/2 temperature relief valve with a discharge pipe (D2) having
4 No. elbows and length of 7m from the tundish to the point of discharge.

Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 22mm copper discharge pipe (D2) from a G1/2
temperature relief valve is: 9.0m. Subtract the resistance for 4 No. 22mm elbows at 0.8m each =
3.2m. Therefore the maximum permitted length equates to: 5.8m. 5.8m is less than the actual length
of 7m, therefore calculate the next largest size.

Maximum resistance allowed for a straight length of 28mm pipe (D2) from a G1/2 temperature relief
valve equates to: 14m. As the actual length is 7m, a 28mm (D2) copper pipe will be satisfactory.

Cyclone Direct / Indirect Installation Guide 51


Commissioning

Filling
First you must ensure that the pressure in the expansion vessel is the same as the setting of the
pressure reducing valve i.e. 3 bar (45PSI). The valve is of the Schrader car tyre type. Check all the
connections for water tightness including any factory made connections such as the immersion
heater and the temperature and pressure relief valve. Prior to filling, open the hot tap furthest away
from the cylinder to expel air. Open the cold main isolation valve and allow the unit to fill.

Once the cylinder has been fully commissioned it should be heated to its normal operating temper-
ature. Draw off secondary hot water to each outlet and allow hot water to flow from each outlet for
at least 30 seconds to remove any flux residue from the pipe work within the secondary hot water
system. Then fully drain the cylinder and re-fill to ensure that all flux residues are removed from the
system.

Indirect Units
Fill the primary circuit according to the boiler manufacturers’ commissioning instructions. Any addi-
tives used in the heating system water circulating through the cylinder coil must be compatible for
use with stainless steel cylinders.

Ensure the lever on the two port valve is set to the filling position. When full, move the lever back.
Switch the programmer to Domestic Hot Water (DHW) and allow the unit to start to heat. Adjust the
dial of the dual thermostat to between 30°C and 70°C as required.

Storage Temperature
60-65°C is the recommended storage temperature for both direct and indirect cylinders. In hard
water areas consideration should be given to reducing this to 50-55°C. In many healthcare appli-
cations the guidance on Legionella control and safe water delivery temperatures will require storing
the water at 60-65°C, distributing at 50- 55°C and using thermostatic mixing valves to control the
final temperature. For details consult the NHS Estates Guidance on safe hot water temperatures.

52 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Maintenance

General
Servicing should only be carried out by competent installers and any spare parts used must be
purchased from Joule™.

Never bypass any safety devices or operate the unit without them being fully operational

Draining
Switch the electrical power off (important to avoid damage to element). Isolate boiler from the unit.
Turn off the cold water supply valve. Open hot water tap. Open the drain valve. The unit will drain.

Water drained off may be very hot!

Annual Maintenance
The water heaters require annual servicing in order to ensure safe working and optimum perfor-
mance. It is essential that the following checks are performed by a competent installer on an annual
basis. This is commonly done at the same time as the annual boiler service.

• Twist the cap of the expansion relief valve on the inlet control set and allow water to flow for 5
seconds. Release and make sure it resets correctly.

• Repeat with the pressure / temperature relief valve. In both cases check that the discharge
pipework is carrying the water away adequately. If not, check for blockages etc. and clear.

• Check that any immersion heaters fitted are working correctly and that they are controlling the
water at a temperature between 55°C and 65°C.

• Check the pressure in the expansion vessel is charged to 3 bar. Turn off the water supply to the
unit and open a hot tap first. The air valve on expansion vessel is a Schrader (car tyre) type.

• Air or CO2 may be used to charge the expansion vessel. Unscrew the head on the inlet control
set and clean the mesh filter within.

The Service Checklist supplied with this unit should be updated at each service.

Your guarantee may be void if you cannot produce proof of annual servicing immer-
sion heater replacement.

Cyclone Direct / Indirect Installation Guide 53


Immersion Heater Replacement
If the thermal cut out on the Immersion heater operates contact a competent installer. If the thermal
cut out fault occurs again the immersion will need to be replaced.

Prior to installing the replacement Immersion, ensure the o-ring is correctly positioned on the head
of the Immersion and lubricate the threads before fitting.

Thread the Immersion by hand until it is hand tight and then tighten gently to allow the o-rings to
create a water tight seal.

Inspection
Where internal inspection of the cylinder is required an endoscope can be used. Inspection can be
carried out by draining down the cylinder and removing a component that is fitted to a wet connec-
tion in the cylinder.

Safety Valve Checks


Water discharges from either the temperature/pressure relief valve or the expansion relief valve
indicates a problem.

• Check your discharge pipework is free from debris and is carrying water away to waste effec-
tively.
• Next hold both of these safety valves open, allowing as much water as possible to flow through
the tundish.
• Release the valves and check that they reseat correctly.

Completion of the Benchmark Checklist on pages 54-55 must be adhered to by the


installer

54 www.jouleuk.co.uk | www.joule.ie
Taking The Cylinder Out Of Use

Shutting Down

• Ensure the cold water supply is isolated and at least two hot water draw off points are open
prior to draining the cylinder.

Troubleshooting

Your stainless system is automatic in normal use and requires only annual servicing. You should
employ a competent installer to perform the annual servicing. Normally this is timed to coincide with
the annual boiler service.

If water is flowing from the safety valves through the tundish this indicates a fault
condition and action is needed.

If this water is hot, turn the boiler and / or the immersion heater off. Do not turn off the water until
the discharge runs cool. The discharge may also stop.

CALL OUT A COMPETENT PLUMBER TO SERVICE THE UNIT.

Tell them you have a fault on an unvented cylinder. We stock all the spare parts they may need and
Joule™ can be contacted via telephone numbers on back page.
